No Las Cruces City Council to be held Monday

LAS CRUCES >> Because Monday will be the fifth Monday of the month, the Las Cruces City Council will not convene for a meeting or work session at City Hall, 700 N. Main St.

Council meetings are typically conducted the first and third Monday of every month -- provided neither of those Mondays fall on a holiday. Council work sessions are usually scheduled the second and fourth Mondays of every month.

But the council didn't meet last week, either. City Manager Robert Garza was away from Las Cruces, attending the International City Managers Association convention, in Boston, Mass. The council could have convened for a work session, but those items of discussion were moved to work sessions to be conducted in October.

The next council meeting will be at 1 p.m. Oct. 7, at City Hall.

For more information about council meetings or work sessions, call the City Clerk's Office at 575-541-2115.
